I want to hide a menuItem regarding user's rights. The menu item is placed into a context menu (displayed with a right click) into a userControl. Rights are passed to the user control trough the main window. I have an error 40 : Binding error. VS can't find my property declared in the xaml document.
MainWindow.xaml
<MyUC:myUC
...
MainOptionsVisibility="False" />
myUc.xaml
<GMap_NET_WindowsPresentation:GMapControl.ContextMenu>
<ContextMenu Opened="ContextMenu_Opened">
<MenuItem
Header="{x:Static Internationalization:Resources.VIEWPORT_ADDOBJECT}"
Command="{x:Static local:Viewport.CreateGraphicObjectRequestCommand}"
CommandTarget="{Binding Path=PlacementTarget,RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type ContextMenu}}}"
Visibility="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path=IsEnabled, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityCollapsedConverter}}">
<MenuItem.Icon>
<Image Source="{DynamicResource EditIcon}" Width="32" Height="32" />
</MenuItem.Icon>
</MenuItem>
<MenuItem Header="{x:Static Internationalization:Resources.OPTIONS}"
Visibility="{Binding Path=MainOptionsVisibility, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityCollapsedConverter}}" >
...
/>
</GMap_NET_WindowsPresentation:GMapControl.ContextMenu>
</GMap_NET_WindowsPresentation:GMapControl>
And MainOptionsVisibility is well declared as dependency property in code-behind. I have checked, it is well initialized. The visibility of the other item is OK (I didn't do it).
EDIT : new XAML code after Flo's answer :

The converter was changed for both menuItems for tests. It is never called.

The problem is your MenuItem has no property which is called MainOptionsVisibility
, only your Window has. Through RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}
your Binding to the MenuItem.
RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type Window}}
wont work either, because your ContextMenu isnt part of the Windows logical or visual Tree.
What you could do is set the DataContext of the ContextMenus PlacementTarget (GMap_NET_WindowsPresentation:GMapControl
) or one of its ancestors to your Window (e.g. through setting the Windows DataContext to itself (<Window ...DataContext={Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}.../
>) and the do something like:
<MenuItem Header="{x:Static Internationalization:Resources.OPTIONS}" Visibility="{Binding Path=PlacementTarget.DataContext.MainOptionsVisibility, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type ContextMenu}}, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityCollapsedConverter}}" >
